What We're Loking Forward to on Our Next Disney World Trip

The World’s Most Magical Celebration, also known as Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, began on October 1, 2021. We are officially one month into the 18-month long celebration! When Disney celebrates, they celebrate big. This celebration includes so much to see, do, eat, and experience. It’s not possible to experience everything in one trip to the Walt Disney World Resort, so we’re glad that we have annual passes, and don’t live very far away, so that we can experience everything that we want to before the end of the celebration. What are we looking forward to experiencing on our first trip during this celebration?!

Our last trip to Disney World wasn’t that long ago, just over a month ago. We left the Walt Disney World Resort two days before the anniversary celebration officially started. The decorations throughout the parks, especially on the castle, and the golden statues were all in place during our last trip. The official celebration festivities had not begun, though.

Here’s what we’re looking forward to most on our next trip! These are in no particular order.

Treats – We’ve said this many, many times, and we’ll most likely say it many, many more – we love Disney treats. We’re looking forward to trying some of the 50th anniversary exclusive treats around the parks. Some of those that we’re most looking forward to are: 50th Celebration Cupcake, the Glimmer and Shimmer Blondie, Disney’s Hollywood Studios 50th Celebration Sandwich Cookie, and the Celebration Hot Dog.  

Mickey Celebration Cavalcade – As a family, we love cavalcades. We like that we don’t have to stake out a spot hours before they start, like with parades. We can walk up as we hear the music change, watch for the minute or two it takes for the characters to pass, and then move onto our next thing, Mickey’s Celebration Cavalcade is brand new, and features Mickey and friends in their brand-new outfits.

Disney Enchantment – We love a good fireworks show. We’ve watched this new one from home, but we’re excited to see it in person. A lot people of people have expressed that they don’t like it because it isn’t Happily Ever After. However, when Happily Ever After first started, people didn’t like it either.   

Beacons of Magic – Each evening Cinderella Castle, Spaceship Earth, Tower of Terror, and the Tree of Life are transformed, and we’re excited to see it.

Early Entry – We were lucky enough to get to take advantage of this perk on our last trip, and we’re excited to do it again. Guests staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels, and a few other select hotels, are able to enter the four parks 30 minutes early every day. We took advantage of this at Epcot and Hollywood Studios at the end of September, and it made a world of difference for the big-name rides like Rise of the Resistance and Frozen Ever After. A Park Pass Reservation is required.

Golden Statues – We got to see most of the 50 character statures that can be found throughout the four parks, however we did miss a few at Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom, and we did not get to Animal Kingdom on our last visit. We’ll be sure to see all 50 this time.

KiteTails – We’re also looking forward to seeing the new show at Animal Kingdom!

France Pavilion – We’re all so excited to check out the newly opened expansion of the France Pavilion at Epcot! We’re hoping to be able to get a boarding group for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and we’re looking forward to trying at crepe from Emporter by La Creperie de Paris.

We Used Genie+ for the First Time. What did we Think?!

Back in June my sister, Sharon, and I took a girls trip to Disney World! It was a fun trip, and for the first time since it came out, we used Genie+. Today, we're going to share our thoughts about the experience.  What is Genie+?!  Genie+ is the paid for "skip the standyby line" option that replaced Fastpass+. It debuted on October 1, 2021 on the first day of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. This is what the Walt Disney World website says about the service, " Use the Lightning Lane entrances offered through Disney Genie+ service and save time waiting in line. On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using Lightning Lane entrances, if the first selection is made early in the day." There is also a second option, Individual Attraction Selection. The Disney World site says, " You may also purchase individual—or à la carte—Lightning Lane entry selections for specific attractions that aren’t offered through Disney Genie+ service. Pu

Dinner at Royal Court on the Disney Fantasy

We’ve mentioned more than a few times that each of the four Disney ships has three main dining rooms. All four ships have the fun Animator’s Palate that we talked about a couple of weeks ago, as well as a themed dining rooms on the Magic and Wonder (Rapunzel’s and Tiana’s) and Enchanted Garden on the Dream and Fantasy. We’ll talk about Enchanted Garden in our next Disney Cruise Line focused post! This week, though, we’re excited to talk about the third main dining room on the Disney Fantasy, Royal Court. Royal Court, like Royal Palace on the Dream, Triton’s on the Wonder, and Lumiere’s on the Magic is the most upscale of the three main dining rooms. Located right off the main lobby Royal Court is a grand dining room that celebrates Disney’s royal couples. Throughout the dining room there are mosaics of Disney Princess and their princes including Belle and Beast,  Jasmine and Aladdin, Tiana and Naveen, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Aurora and Phillip, Ariel and Eric, and Snow Wh
